10BaseT, 100BaseTX can be made to communicate with slower 10BaseT equipment when routed through a switch. 5. This backwards compatibility is one of 100BaseTX's major advantages over other forms of Fast Ethernet; it allows critical, speed-dependent network segments to be upgraded to 100BaseTX speeds as needed without re-wiring, refitting, and retraining an entire site.

24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView Appendix B: Cabling Overview Twisted Pair Cabling and Fiber Optic Cabling are discussed in this appendix. Twisted Pair Cabling There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Category 5 is the most reliable and is highly recommended.

A fiber connection always require two fiber cables: one transmits data, and the other receives it. Each fiber optic cable is tipped with a connector that fits into a fiber port on a network adapter, hub, or switch. In the U.
